Unfortunately, we have weaponized the SWIFT system, and have shown our willingness to seize foreign cash and metals on deposit in our banking system.

You beat me to it. What I would also point out is how well Russia has done financially after being kicked off of SWIFT.

By doing well financially-

he is borrowing at 17% and the ruble is off 70% vs the dollar since the Crimean invasion in 2014.

The Russian economy is the size of 1 1/2 NY’s economy with a 145milion people.

What does that mean exactly?
